25x28x1 (24-1/2x27-1/2) Accumulair Carbon Odor-Ban Filter 6-Pack Review by Alvaro I. Mangual (Houston, Texas)
I really want to love these filters. We have two cats. Two cases of severe seasonal allergies. And an aversion to anything that doesn't smell like Roses. We have five filters installed at once. Can we tell the difference...don't know. Our noses get used to smells quickly. There is no denying they filter well, but I can't tell you they will completely freshen up your home. We are going back to a similar filter without activated-charcoal. If we can then tell the difference, then I will update this post with a higher rating. If we can't...the review will remain the same.
A side note...Customer Service from FiltersNow through Amazon was spectacular!
25x28x1 (24-1/2x27-1/2) Accumulair Carbon Odor-Ban Filter 6-Pack Review by Charles Chen "Keyboard Jockey" (East Windsor, NJ)
I've been using Accumulair filters for about 3 years now since I purchased my house due to the unique size (17x22) of the filter. Most big box stores don't carry this filter size and the reusable fiberglass filter that came with the furnace is woefully terrible at filtering the air (like Swiss cheese compared to the Accumulair filters).
I can't comment definitively on the effectiveness of the odor blocking properties of the filter since I haven't really done any experimentation, but it *SEEMS* to work (well, at least to some degree) given that we have three cats and a Husky (which seems to shed a cat's worth of fur every month) in the house and it seems to be fairly odorless.
Don't expect instant results with regards to odor given that for it to even be effective, it would need to circulate a pretty large amount of air. It may take a day or two to notice anything.
As far as the filtering properties go, it does a decent enough job for a 1" filter given the circumstances (the aforementioned 3 cats and a dog). The house is still requires a good dusting ever 2-3 weeks, but certainly, I think it would be much worse given the amount of dirt, dust, and dander I've seen on the filters when I pull it out to change it.
Overall, a recommended product. In fact, I'm going to buy a few more as soon as I finish typing this :)

Stinky fumes. Not only do they singe your nose hairs, but chances are they're toxic! Chemicals, cigarette smoke... we know the aren't good for us.
I've always wondered why a charcoal-activated/carbon air filter was never available for whole-house HVAC systems. The makers of Accumulair must have pondered the same thing because here, after all these years, is an odor absorbing air filter for the house!
OK, I'll cut to the chase. This filter does a great job of absorbing household odors. It works like a regular particle filter and is just as easy to install. It's available in every size imaginable (be sure to double-check you're ordering the right one since that dropdown-menu size selector has enough sizes to make your eyes cross).
Four, not five, stars because it's not a super effective particle filter compared to a "regular" non odor-absorbing filter. The filter is more like a sponge material rather than cross-woven fibers or microfibers so there are bigger pores for some dust/allergens to penetrate. Allergy sufferers might fare better enduring the smell of last night's fish dinner instead of circulating bigger particles than a standard filter would catch. But it does exactly as claimed... it clears the funk from the air. (Well, maybe they didn't use the word "funk"...)
